~ Billy Eichner
The FISA Amendment Act of 2008 actually allows some of the things we were doing under the president's authority only against al Qaeda, it allows them for all legitimate foreign intelligence purposes.
~ Michael Hayden
Barack Obama is probably one of the brightest in terms of sheer intelligence... also probably the best orator we've ever had as a president.
~ Mario Cuomo
This president has been reluctant to hold anybody accountable. No one was held accountable after September the 11th. Nobody's been held accountable after the clear flaws in intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq.
~ Bob Graham

~ Conan O'brien
Our Founding Fathers created the Executive Branch to implement and enforce the laws written by Congress, and vested this power in the president.
~ Tom Rice
The Democrats just don't have a foreign policy that they're willing to defend, that they're willing to use to take down the president's. We're dealing with the power of suggestion here.
~ Chris Matthews
If I get to be president, what can I do anyway? With Congress and the press, what chance do I have to make basic changes?

In the past, the U.S. has shown its capacity to reinvent its gifts for leadership.

~ Paul Johnson

~ Dee Dee Myers
I have never talked publicly or privately about the Jewish people, including conversations with President Nixon, except in the most positive terms.

A President cannot always be popular.
During President George W. Bush's two terms, you couldn't drive far without seeing a particular bumper sticker: 'Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.'

Ronald Reagan said, 'Trust, but verify.' President Obama is 'trust, but vilify.' He trusts our enemies and vilifies everyone who disagrees with him.
